FLY-TRAP.

SPECIFICATION forming part. of Letters Patent No. 456,342, dated. July 21, 1891.

Application filed September 15, 1890. Serial No. 364,960. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it concern.-

Be it known that I, JOSEPH REINMANN, of Lanesborough, in the county of Susquehanna, in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Devices for Catching Flies, of which the following, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to devices for attracting and catching flies.

My object is to produce a device for catching and exterminating fiies,.simple and cheap in construction, very durable, and of great utility.

My invention consists in the several novel features of construction and operation hereinafter described, and which are specifically set forth in the claim hereunto annexed.

It is constructed as follows, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is an isometrical elevation of my device constructed of glass or other trans-- lucent material. Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional elevation through the center.

Similar letters and figures of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A is the body, constructed of glass or other fusible material, substantially as shown in the drawings, and provided at its upper end with a mouth and cork. The interior of the device is constructed with a series of upwardlyextending annular arms or shelves 1 1, formbody A.

i'ng recesses a between the said arms and the Into these recesses I put fiy-water or other poisonous solution. It will be seen that the upwardlyextendin g annular arms or shelves form an opening B in the interior of the device, through which the flies pass to get into the interior. 2 2 are the legs upon which the fly-catchers rest, and 3 is the piece of food or other device for attracting the flies, placed upon the base upon which the device stands and directly under the openings B.

It will be observed that I can construct the device in sections without departing from the spirit of my invention; but I prefer to construct it as shown.

That I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A device for catching flies, consisting of a- K JOSEPH REINMANN.
